WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.879 I'm telling you, Boston, we have full lines, folks, and 2 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.199 I'm gratified by that. So I want to hear what 3 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:15.000 people have to say. I will try to. My message 4 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.199 is simple. Uh, it's kind of what Robert F. Kennedy said. 5 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.480 Violence begets violence, and every time there's a violent act 6 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.839 in one direction, there's often a similar violent act in 7 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:26.760 a different direction. 8 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.760 Let's let's get right back to the call. It's going 9 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.600 to go to Ron. Ron. 10 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.079 Thanks for checking in you next on Nightside, right. 11 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.159 Ron Hie, again, thanks so much for taking my call. 12 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.560 I just have a couple of comments. I think we 13 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.479 really need to ramp up our re turrent measures here 14 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.159 in terms of hate crimes, and whether it be increased 15 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:03.079 cameras or definitely's punishment for the crimes as a deterrent. 16 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:09.480 But I don't think we have a leadership that can 17 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.480 take a stand Onut. I don't think we have the 18 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.840 I don't think our leaders especially in Massachusetts, have the 19 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.400 courage to take a stand on such hate hate crimes. 20 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.120 I mean, one of. 21 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.200 The things one of the things that people can do. 22 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.879 Uh. And they apparently caught this guy, or they were 23 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.519 able to identify this guy fairly quickly because of home 24 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.359 security cameras, So you know, I think that that's always 25 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.200 something that is important to do. 26 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:45.359 Uh. 27 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.680 And you know, if you can have a home security camera, 28 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.040 even the people who were shot, they got to they 29 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.120 at least got a picture of this guy, gave him 30 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.519 an idea who they were looking for. So, you know, 31 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.920 anything that would would would discourage people. I just think 32 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.400 that the attitude of some people when they big free 33 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.000 speech guy. My friend Harvey Silverglate, who will hear from 34 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.439 in a moment or two, is a big free speech guy. 35 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.759 But one of the things is when you get in 36 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.759 some of this speech where you're calling people, you know, 37 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.000 the worst thing since you know, you know, hitler or 38 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.879 whatever or demonic, as my friend Alex from Cambridge said, 39 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.759 then the people who are a little bit a little 40 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.479 bit imbalanced, figure, well, maybe I can go ahead and 41 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.759 and and do something that's good and get rid of 42 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.199 people who are that bad. That's you know, and it's 43 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.560 it's it's it's it's scary. 44 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:41.120 Uh. 45 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.120 We've seen I've seen too many political assassinations in my life, 46 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.360 and I know you have as well. 47 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.319 I have too, And thank you for leading into that because. 48 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.240 You know, as as I think you may know. I 49 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.800 read the Wall Street Journal lot, and uh, I'm particularly 50 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.120 interested in some of the articles on the commentary that's 51 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.680 made in this case, it's on a twenty four to 52 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:10.080 seven basis. You should read some of the hate that 53 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:17.000 is simply exactly what our friend Alex demonstrated just a 54 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:23.599 short time ago. It's very and I think unfortunately, our media, 55 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.639 as I shared with Marita earlier, I think our media 56 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.719 is adding is throwing gas onto the embers. I mean, 57 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.719 when you see this sort of thing, it just it 58 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.840 makes it worse. And you know, I hadn't planned on, 59 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.360 but at one point in time, I signed up for 60 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:51.520 the notifications from CBS, and it's like every three times 61 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:57.840 tonight during my work shift, I received breaking news notifications 62 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.560 and it's always just a sound by man, you know, 63 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.520 highlighting one side or the other. 64 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.719 You take a look at Boston Gould and you look 65 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.879 at Wall Street through. 66 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.280 When you look at New York Times, that's unbelievable. 67 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.759 I can't trust you. You personally are the Paul Revere 68 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:22.920 in terms of messaging anything that comes close to the truth, 69 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.839 or at least you know, I have to share just 70 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.600 one thing before I let others. 71 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.040 A few days ago. 72 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.920 I happened to meet in a cafeteria sitting there after 73 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.600 emergency room, and a gentleman sits down across from me. 74 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.040 We start talking to the physician and I shared with 75 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.360 him my deployment to Iran, and he looked at me. 76 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.360 After we talked, and I showed them some pictures of 77 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.279 the little kids that we took care of. You know, 78 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.639 a thousand Prussian dereies, three four thousand people died. But 79 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.720 it wasn't the people were It wasn't the people that 80 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.600 were uh demons, if you will, it was it's the 81 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.759 theocratic leadership there. 82 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.600 And you know, the. 83 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.839 Amazing story is and I couldn't happen. I don't know 84 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.600 how it happened. But so he looked at me and 85 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.560 he said, Ron, those little kids that you took care 86 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.560 of are my age. He said that they need any 87 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:35.160 ophthalmologists on your team. This is incredible. We're able to 88 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:36.879 have the discussion. 89 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:42.439 Yeah, and hopefully hopefully that gentleman will join will join 90 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.240 your team. Ron, I gotta fly here because I'm all 91 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.600 lots of good wisdom there. Thank you so much for 92 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.439 the kind words. Appreciate it very much. 93 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:51.040 You're welcome. 94 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:54.839 Let me get my friend Harvey silver glad in here, 95 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:55.680 Hobby welcome. 96 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.199 I know you're a First Amendment guy, and I'm sure 97 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.959 that you're a little bit concerned about some of the 98 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.360 comments that I have made tonight. 99 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.399 Right ahead, I. 100 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.439 Am very concerned about some of the comments. The solution 101 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.959 to this is not to outlaw hate speech. As I've 102 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.199 said before, hate speech is very important because it identifies 103 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.600 the haters. Sure, and we know who am not to 104 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.240 turn our backs on. The solution is not to contail speech. 105 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:31.560 I think that part of the blame is in Donald Trump, 106 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.399 and let me tell you why. I know that it's 107 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.120 satisfact blaming the victim, but I'll tell you why. He 108 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.759 sat by during the Capitol Hill riots, which the Democrats, 109 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.199 to their discredit, call an insurrection. It was not an insurrection. 110 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:54.759 It was a riot, words matter, and he sat by 111 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.800 to hours and let this go on. Have called in 112 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:07.879 the National Guard, the ditto and in law, whereas in 113 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:12.360 Los Angeles he virtually declared he came within an inch 114 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.040 of declaring martial law because he was opposed to what 115 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:22.399 the riots did. The double standard has to go, I mean, 116 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.519 but it's not. But the blame is on both sides. 117 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:34.279 The rhetoric, the level of hate speech that I believe 118 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.879 that hate speech should be one hundred percent protected, Marsha. 119 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:44.319 But we have a responsibility for moderating us speech. Well, 120 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.319 we don't have an oblag We don't we don't have 121 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.439 an apple, We don't have a legal obligation, but we 122 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.519 have the obligation of citizenship. 123 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.519 Yeah, okay, So you and I on as far apart, 124 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.319 maybe as some people might think on this, in the 125 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.399 sense that I just think that you criticized a Trump 126 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.519 and rightfully so he should have called for National Guard. 127 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.199 Maybe it was too late. Now I know that there's 128 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.199 some questions about whether or not Nancy Pelosi actually if 129 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.319 he requested National Guard in advance and Pelosi, as the 130 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.079 Speaker of the House, denied his request on that. By 131 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.399 the way, there's there's some interesting stuff that's starting to 132 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.879 percolate up on that. But put that aside, he certainly 133 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.480 should have been in front of the TV cameras at 134 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.320 by two point fifteen and saying stop it, stop it, 135 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.919 and and go home. But I also think when all 136 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.120 of a sudden people are comparing Trump to Addolf Hitler, 137 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.799 I don't think that comparison is fair hobby. 138 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.000 I really don't know whether there's no there is no 139 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.200 comparison since the Emperor Caligila, right, sure enough, right right. 140 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:01.120 And that's exactly the kind of a rhetoric that that 141 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.840 seeds into the fanaticism. Yes, it allows to happen. 142 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:06.440 Yeah. 143 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.679 And because if I'm somebody on the other side, and 144 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:14.120 if I'm a little imbalanced, and I take that that 145 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:20.399 phrase that you know that that phrase not metaphorically, but 146 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.559 I think it literally, I might wake up some day 147 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.080 and say, you know what, I need to take this 148 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.519 guy out because look what Hitler did and I want 149 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.240 to see a repeat of it. Uh. And that's where 150 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.799 I think, you know, both sides needs to need to 151 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.159 need to take it down, not from a statutory point 152 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.879 of view, but as you say, from a from a 153 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.559 citizen's perspective and an obligatory. 154 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:41.440 Point of view. 155 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.679 Exactly burn up, all right, my friend. As always, thank you, Harvey. 156 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.960 You've brought some clarity to our conversation, as you tend 157 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.240 to do every time. Thank your friend. Talk to you soon. 158 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.879 Take quick break. Coming right back on Night's side, I 159 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.799 have Mary Beth and handover coming up. The only line 160 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.200 open right now was six months, two five four to 161 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.919 ten thirty. Everything else is full six one, seven, two, five, 162 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.759 four to ten thirty. The question is there's there's a 163 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.480 couple of questions here. One is, if there's violence from 164 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.440 either side, it has to be denounced. And I would 165 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.960 argue that the greater obligation on the people from whichever 166 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.639 side the violence emanated. Sometimes the violence doesn't have a side. 167 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:31.080 Sometimes the violence is just insane. Okay. But but if 168 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.919 it's you know, if you happen to be a conservative, 169 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.320 denounce what this guy did in Minnesota, Denounce it to 170 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:43.600 your friends. There's no way that anyone should be silent 171 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.639 on this same way the guy that killed the young 172 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.519 couple outside the Jewish Museum. I don't care what you 173 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:57.000 think about Palestine, Okay, you can't go around shooting people 174 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.519 in the street and then say free Palestine, Free Palestine. 175 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.919 It has to be denounced. I don't know if care. 176 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:10.480 The Council on Islamic the Council on American Islamic Relations, 177 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:16.600 which is a very anti Israeli organization, per se, did 178 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.240 they say anything. 179 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:19.039 I don't know. 180 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.919 I'm going to try to find out during the break. 181 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.120 We'll take a quick break. Coming right back. This is 182 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.000 a quick one, coming right back on Nightside. You're on 183 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.240 Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. Okay, 184 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.399 I just checked it out, and the Council on American 185 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:40.519 Islamic Relations CARE did denounce the shooting on the two 186 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.720 embassy staff members. The Israeli embassy Israel member, they were 187 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.440 not Israeli. 188 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.879 One Jewish woman. 189 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:55.799 From Kansas was killed, and Kerr said, we condemned last 190 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.480 night's deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington, d C. Well, 191 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.799 good for you CARE. What's one of the first times 192 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.559 that I've seen that, and I'm very happy that you 193 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.639 did that. While millions of them, they went on to 194 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.360 politicize it a little bit, which is fine, while millions 195 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.919 of Americans feel extreme frustration at the site of the 196 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.039 Israeli government slaughtering Palestinian men, women, and children on a 197 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.159 daily basis with weapons paid for with our taxpayer dollars. 198 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:25.399 Political violence is an unacceptable crime and it's not the answer. Okay, 199 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.039 I disagree with the characterization of what Israel is doing 200 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.879 in Gaza, but I certainly do appreciate their condemnation of 201 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.080 last night's deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees. In Washington, 202 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.600 d C. See, we're fear here on Nightside, believe it 203 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.320 or not. Mary Beth in handover, Mary Beth, thank you 204 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.159 for calling in and thank you for your patience. 205 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:53.440 Oh sure, it's it's just getting so stressful because you 206 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:57.519 can even join a conversation on social media or something. 207 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.080 Because I was literally trying to have a conversation with 208 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.279 someone and they just kept coming back and tacking, and 209 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.159 I'm like, no, really, I want to know your point 210 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.399 of view, you know. I mean, I think if we can, 211 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.919 if we could just get to the point where we 212 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.679 can actually have conversations instead of you know, because I've 213 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.120 sat down with people that are friends of mine on 214 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.200 the other side, and you know, we can discuss that 215 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.279 we may not agree with each other, but we'll at 216 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.519 least say why we believe this or that. But this 217 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.480 hate is it's definitely from the politicians media too. But 218 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.480 like the politicians on both sides are just giving everyone 219 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:41.039 commission to be violent, and you know so many, yeah. 220 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.159 Some may be doing that, and I think that has 221 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.320 to be condemned. What we try to do here on 222 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:51.919 Nightside is have rational conversations. Sometimes exactly people are unable 223 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.600 to do that. And I know I had some frustrations 224 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.399 with Alex because he will call President and Trump a 225 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.000 demon can do that, but he should understand there's some questions. 226 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.320 Yeah, here's here's the thing. You're not going to win 227 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.720 somebody over to your side by that kind of behavior. 228 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.679 So by him, you know, shouting out to the world 229 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.279 that you know. I mean, I have my beliefs too, 230 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.240 but you're not going to get someone from the other 231 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.240 side to come over to your side by attacking them. 232 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.879 So with you, I agree with you totally on that. 233 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.919 But and when I'm telling you, when I thought when 234 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.399 I saw the kid that was throwing rocks at every 235 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.559 single car, it infuriated me, just like Portland, just like 236 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.559 JA six. You know, I'm so stressed out with all 237 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.440 of those people, you know, I mean, I'm angry with them. 238 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.480 You're not helping your cause. 239 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:55.279 Well, for some reason they had this view that again protesters, 240 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.559 you got there's some funding going on out there. I 241 00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.799 don't want to get into that conversation, and I will 242 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.559 say about from another night, but there's a lot of 243 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.279 that that is really pre planned. And I just wanted 244 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.919 to focus tonight on this guy in Minnesota who felt 245 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.440 he had the right to come people's homes, private homes 246 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.039 and kill them because he had political disagreements with them, 247 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.600 and all of his targets. To the best of our knowledge, 248 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.480 we're Democrats. 249 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.200 Why the acting. 250 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.960 US attorney out there, who we played that SoundBite from. 251 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:30.759 I don't know anything about him. I don't know if 252 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.720 he's a Republican, if he's a Democrat. It just seems 253 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.639 to me that he should have been much more straightforward. 254 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.919 I'll do a little bit of work on him, find. 255 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.440 Out, you know, and nobody's asking him to jump the 256 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.360 gun and just say, hey, this is what it was, 257 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.759 but don't say, yeah, we're not really sure because it's 258 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:53.200 kind of obvious. 259 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:53.840 Yeah. 260 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.159 Well, he actually talked about how that all of the 261 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.279 people on the list were Democrats, and so who do 262 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.840 they think this guy was? You know? So let me see, Yeah, 263 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.120 I guess this guy was appointed by Donald Trump on 264 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.639 June second, So Joseph H. Thompson, who served as a 265 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.720 federal prosecutor for sixteen years, has been appointed by President 266 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.120 Trump to serve as the acting UNS Attorney for the 267 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.279 District of Minnesota. I think he missed the ball. I 268 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.960 think that now whether or not he felt loyalty to 269 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.279 Donald Trump. I think that's that's a mistake. This guy 270 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:31.120 clearly was on one side of the political spectrum. 271 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:32.480 And yeah, I mean. 272 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.159 You hired to do a job, doing the job no 273 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.960 matter what you got, you know, I mean, people were 274 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.480 turning against each other as a nation. 275 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.080 It's just so sad, Mary Beth. 276 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.480 I appreciate your call and and I appreciate your support 277 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:49.960 on this one. 278 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:51.080 Okay, thanks, we'll talk. 279 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.360 About a great night. 280 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.720 My pleasure. Keep calling the show. We have two lines 281 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.720 at six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. Let 282 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:03.440 me go next to h Tom in Dorchester.

Going to get you in here 284 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.759 before the news at the bottom of the hour. 285 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.480 Go ahead, Tom, okay, Dan. 286 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.680 I was trying to make this best now.

And then I saw a program in the 289 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.519 nineteen seventies where the Communists were going to try to 290 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.200 imporplate in piltrate one of the parties, and they set 291 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.680 it on the Democratic Party. And as I went along and. 292 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.799 Who whoa, whoa Tom, Where did you see that program? 293 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:38.559 It was a program on television. I forget the well, 294 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:38.839 it was. 295 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:39.519 One of these days. 296 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:44.000 Uh uh, Well, if I forget what the program was, 297 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:46.759 it was, it was a half hour program. 298 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.000 Yeah, I've known a lot of I've known a lot 299 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:49.839 about that stuff. 300 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:50.880 I don't recall that. 301 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.359 But I'll I'll take your word that you saw. 302 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:58.200 Something, all right, thanks. So I think I voted with 303 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.839 Jimmy Catta, and then the Democrats were all on the 304 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.400 side of the Soviet Union. Everything the Soviet Union did 305 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.799 the Democrats supported. So I started believing in that more 306 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.000 and more. So then I changed my I changed to 307 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.440 the Republicans, a motive for Ronald Reagan. And and this 308 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.720 this week, all everything is going on today. 309 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:19.240 You. 310 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.039 Know, Joe, let me just say this. 311 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.079 I don't think the Democrats were on the side of 312 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.319 the Soviet Union. I think there are some liberal Democrats, 313 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.200 but I who was on the side of the Soviet Union. 314 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.440 Dan and you all were in congris every time we're 315 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.400 trying to say something bad against the Soviet So. 316 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.839 You're telling me tip O'Neil was on the side of 317 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:43.680 the Soviet Union. 318 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:51.160 I don't know about tip O'Neil, but Dan, they hated 319 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.480 Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan said I'm going to destroy the 320 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.359 evil Umpire. So that sets bottom my my case there. Well, 321 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.680 when I when I want to get to Dannis. These 322 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.000 people in the street right now, these are all useful 323 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:09.960 idiots and they're being controlled by Maxis. These Maxis love 324 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.319 this and this is what they want to do. 325 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:16.720 Okay, Tom, Tom again, if if you're telling me that 326 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.480 all the Democrats and and I asked you about Tip 327 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:26.079 O'Neil and somehow you don't know that. I mean I 328 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:33.400 I well, Tom, and I followed politics pretty carefully. We 329 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.440 are the more liberals in the in the Do you 330 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.240 think that Mike Dukakis was on the side of the 331 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:40.160 Soviet Union. 332 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.440 No, I don't know, Jim, but I know what I know. 333 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.960 Come on, Tom, that's not that's not even come on, 334 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:49.519 come on again. 335 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.440 They're always back to the Soviet Union. They hated run 336 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.359 Oding and said I'm going to destroy the evil Umpire. 337 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.480 Okay, Tom, Enough for vision is history for this evening. 338 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.079 But thank you for the call. Nonetheless, we'll talk later, 339 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.799 Thanks very much. We'll take a break here. Come on, people, 340 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.599 let's go. Come on six one, seven, two, five four 341 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.599 to ten thirty six one seven, nine three, one, ten thirty. 342 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:16.920 I'm sure that Tom believes what he said. Okay, but uh, 343 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.079 it's not true what he said. Uh, And he can 344 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.519 say it as much as he wants, but it's not true. 345 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.240 We'll take a break, We'll come right back on the 346 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.440 Night's side. I got some line six one seven, two, five, 347 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.880 four to ten thirty. Couple there and one at six 348 00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.599 one seven, nine three one ten thirty. I'm asking what 349 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.880 I think is a very simple question, a very simple issue. 350 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:43.480 The issue is simply this, Why is it that when 351 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:49.640 there's political violence, some people's responses are more muted. That 352 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.960 should not be the case. We all need to very 353 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.839 quickly and honestly stand up in unison and say this 354 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.839 is not what s country is. It's not what this 355 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.920 country has ever been about. Although we have a rich 356 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:10.279 history of political violence, it is something that we have 357 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.759 to we have to denounce, and we have to denounce 358 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.880 it across the board, and we probably have a greater 359 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.720 obligation if it's someone on our side of the isle 360 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.400 who does something insane. Back on Nightside, right after the 361 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.920 news at the bottom of the hour, we've got some 362 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.400 open lines. 363 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:29.160 Let's light them up. 364 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:35.000 It's Nightside Boston's news radio. 365 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.200 Back to the folks, go let me go to Bob 366 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:42.000 and Rhode Island.
